Senior Stories

Experiences aplenty in Senior School

By Michael Francis

Some serious competition was on display at our Athletics Carnival, with some amazing facial expressions during the Tug of war!

Our Year 12 students first Religious Education Seminar Day as a Year Level asked them to identify ways they can take action to address matters of social injustice in 5 minutes through to 5 months. During the session they also had an opportunity to reflect on their social advantage through a nature walk and meditation.

Outdoor education students have completed sailing expeditions, rock climbing, and bush walking while our artists have been engaged in workshops and performance rehearsals.

Our Year 10 students have been building their martial arts skills and today the Middle and Senior School observed the National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence.

Academic support

As the Term progresses, some students are starting to face challenges in balancing competing demands around managing deadlines, extra curricula activities, family commitments and work. Please remember the support opportunities available.

We are committed to building a successful and rich experience for each student and welcome your questions and feedback so please reach out to your child’s Home Group teacher and Year Level Leader via SEQTA Engage or give us a call on 8372 3200.
